Carmine’s on Court
Italian Restaurant · Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn
Dominance Score
+3 from last week
Competitor Intel
Piccolo on Smith Street gained 12 new reviews this week while you gained zero. At this pace they will outrank you for Italian food Brooklyn searches by June. They posted 3 new photos this week and responded to every review within 24 hours. They are pushing hard right now and it is not a coincidence.
Your Move This Week
Post this to your Google Business Profile by Tuesday morning: Spring is here and so is our Sunday gravy. Come find us at 47 Court Street - feeding Carroll Gardens since 2009. Dine in or order online.
Then respond to the two unanswered reviews from last week by Wednesday - one is 3 stars sitting unanswered for 11 days. Every day it sits there is a signal to Google that nobody is home.
Early Warning
New liquor license filed 0.2 miles away - a new restaurant is likely opening within 60 days. We will track them from day one.

Owners who stopped guessing
Independent operators using Nearscout to stay ahead every week.
“We were losing customers to a new spot down the block and had no idea why. First Nearscout report showed they were outpacing us 3-to-1 on reviews. We fixed it in two weeks and bookings came back.”
Maria T.
Owner, Italian restaurant · Brooklyn, NY
“The Monday email is the first thing I read every week. Last month it caught a competitor quietly hiring a pastry chef — we launched a dessert menu before they did.”
James K.
Owner, neighborhood cafe · Austin, TX
“I was paying a marketing agency $2,000/month and getting generic reports. Nearscout gives me more actionable intel for $49. Actual names, actual streets, actual deadlines.”
Priya S.
Owner, fast-casual restaurant · Chicago, IL
“The Dominance Score is addictive. We went from 38 to 71 in three months just by following the weekly playbook. Our Google ranking went from page 2 to the local 3-pack.”
David R.
Owner, cocktail bar · Nashville, TN
“Nearscout flagged a new liquor license filing two blocks away before anyone in the neighborhood knew about it. Gave us a 60-day head start to lock in our regulars.”
Sarah L.
Co-owner, wine bar · Denver, CO
